PROBLEMS
1.  IF THE AREA OF A REGULAR HEXAGON IS 100 SQUARE
CENTIMETERS AND IT IS INSCRIBED IN A CIRCLE, FIND THE
AREA IN THE CIRCLE NOT COVERED BY THE HEXAGON
2nd equation:
1st equation: Area of Hexagon = 100cm^2
Area of Circle – Area of hexagon = the -a regular hexagon can be divided 6 equal
area of the circle not covered by the
triangles
hexagon
Area of hexagon= ( x r^2)×6=100​cm^2
r^2= 6.204032394
120.8587 – 100 = 20.8587 cm^2
3rd equation
Area of Circle=

A= 3.14(6.204032394)^2
A= 120.8586563
 2. ONE SIDE OF A SQUARE IS 6 METERS. IF ITS CORNERS ARE CUT OFF TO
FORM A REGULAR OCTAGON, WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF THE SIDES OF THE
RESULTING OCTAGON? 

Let the length of AE be x as

In ΔAGE
A E F D Using Pythagorean theorem
GE^2=AE^2+AG^2
G GE = x^2+x^2
GE=2​x

Also AD=AE+EF+FD
 6=x+2​x + x
6= 2x + 2​x
B C 6= x(2+
x= 1.7574 m
3. A REGULAR HEXAGON IS INSCRIBED IN A CIRCLE OF RADIUS 10
UNITS. FIND THE AREA OF THE HEXAGON.

- A hexagon can be divided into 6

equilateral triangles with side
lengths of 10

area=6×a^2

⇒area=x 10^2

area=259. 81
 5. FIND THE NUMBER OF SIDES OF EACH OF THE TWO POLYGONS
IF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SIDES OF THE POLYGON IS 13, AND THE
SUM OF THE NUMBER OF DIAGONALS OF THE POLYGONS IS 25

• Let x be the number of sides of the 1 polygon

st 1st equation Substitution: y= 13 – x
x + y=13 + (13 – x)= 50
• Let y be the number of sides of the 2nd polygon y=13-x x^2 - 3x + (13 – x) ( 10 – x) = 50
2nd equation x^2 – 3x + 130x - 23x + x^2=50
• Let m be the number of diagonals of the 1st polygon m + n =25 2x^2 -26x + 80 =0
+ = 25 x= 8 y=5
• Let n be the number of diagonals of the 2nd polygon (2) + = 25 (2)
+ = 50
